Amphoe Aranyaprathet
Aranyaprathet is a Thai border town in Sa Kaeo province whose main draw is the Rong Kluea Market, a large trading hub where Cambodian vendors cross daily with goods including second-hand clothing. The border crossing connects to Poipet on the Cambodian side, where casinos draw Thai visitors since gambling is prohibited in Thailand. Direct buses run between Bangkok and the border, making the crossing straightforward for day-trippers.
